While I appreciate Goro and what he brings to the table, he's over-used at this point. Fujin is one of the 3D era characters with, at least I feel, the most potential as far as plot and gameplay elements go. I mean c'mon;

- God-tier powers
- Storm based moveset
- Tornadic debris could be used
- Could use clouds as a sorta Smoke-esque move
- Whirlwind traps that could send opponent into the air or onto other side of screen
- Air Kombat

This guy could have so much stuff going on for him that wouldn't just be fun but would also be incredibly hype as fuck to see going on onscreen. I mean, just the fatality potential enough would be great. Who doesn't want to see a tornado come down and hurl a bunch of debris into the opponent, watching them get impaled by a bunch of shit and limbs cut off by boards, metal, ect. flying around at hundreds of mph. I don't throw the term "lazy" around often but when it comes to Fujin, holy shit, NRS have been incredibly lazy.

Same deal for me as it was with Mavado vs Kenshi. Fujin's potential unfulfilled > Goro's potential realized. I don't normally like to vote this way, but I think Fujin has the higher ceiling regardless of who appeared in older games.

Warriors from two realms intersecting through opposing loyalty! Bo' Rai Cho may have been born in the realm of Outworld, but in the struggle against conquest he has long chosen the sanctity of Earth. With centuries of martial arts mastery behind him, he is the guiding hand behind some of the world's greatest champions - and a formiddable kombatant in his own right! Tasia is a skilled swordswoman who chooses to walk a dark path in Earth's criminal underworld. As a member of the Black Dragon clan she serves the whims of Kano and his merry band of mercenaries. Killing in the name of anyone that pays, she lent her skills to a new Emperor of Outworld against the Special Forces of Earth. Who's next? It's master vs minion!... FIGHT!

Post Fight Edit: Interesting note for anyone curious: Tasia arrived in this year's tournament ranked #63 (out of 74), while Bo' Rai Cho was ranked #64. Tasia made her Supreme Champion tournament debut last year, losing in the First Round. Her inclusion was inspired by her appearance in the MKX tie-in comics, but like Tremor, she began life as a non-playable sub-boss in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces.

Not a big fan of Bo'. A lot of people love him and I'm glad for his fans that he ended up in MKX, but I would have preferred they brought back a different 3D era character. He's the character I've played the least out of KP2.

So I went with Tasia. Her comic appearance was pretty rad and could be a cool character if fleshed out, what with the swords and shit.

I loved him in the 3D era, and I love him more in MKX. I really hope his inclusion as DLC doesn't hurt his chances to make the main roster for the next one.

Something tells me that his inclusion as DLC indicates he survived Shinnok's attack on him.
On the other hand, I'm surprised that all three Shokan warriors lost this time around. Not that it really matters. I'm just glad that Fujin won against Goro.

Im kind of surprised Fujin won over Goro, but I think that is ONLY because he wasn't in MKX and everyone is pining for him.

As for this bout, i'm going with Bo'Rai Cho. We already have one character from the worst MK game in history, we don't need another that's even more obscure. If she were to be included in a future MK game, I would hope that they greatly expand upon the Black Dragon. It seems like they had a decent setup in the story mode of Armageddon, with the Red Dragon and Black Dragon cults being directly related to the Dragons of Tagon and Daegon (or whatever their names are), so I'm assuming that in MKXI they may expand upon the Red Dragon vs Black Dragon conflict. I always thought the introduction of the Red Dragon was contrived and pointless, and never liked any character associated with it.

Rant aside, Bo'Rai Cho. Real, established character vs. a throwaway character from that pos Special Forces game? Easy decision. And frankly the comic doesn't count, because other than Scorpion taking in Takeda, there's absolutely nothing that ties the comic and game together.

Tasia is cool and I'd definitely like to see more of her (outside of the comics, maybe MK11 DLC?) After all, what's wrong with more Black Dragons, amiright? But Bo' has always been one of my favorites so gotta go with him......plus he's fun as hell in MKX.

Bo Rai Cho has come a ways from his DA-era self, and I say this as one of his 3 fans from back then. Giving him more dialogue and smoother animations is a huge plus. and between the Dragon Breath moves, the fancy staff attacks and comical flying kick, we can actually think "Yeah...I guess I can see how this goof trained Liu Kang."

Law and order in the realm of Earth! Jax is the Special Forces super-soldier without an ounce of quit! After losing his arms in the line of duty, he was outfitted with cybernetic replacements. They couldn't save him from paying the ultimate price to save the world, but after serving evil in the Netherrealm as a revenant soldier - the hero was given a second chance at life! Hsu Hao is evil intent through and through. As a member of the Red Dragon clan he relishes the evil deeds he commits for the criminal cult. In another lifetime he would have infiltrated the Special Forces, but in this one he simply kombats them. Will he pay for his crimes when the metal arm of the law catches up? Round 1... FIGHT!
